HMUSN · December 11th, 2007, 11:45 PM

5 bolts.

4 hood bolts and 1 ground wire bolt.

it's simple

HMUSN · December 11th, 2007, 11:51 PM

of a hood?

Seriously man..
It is VERY simple.
It's just like removing a door

pop your hood and you will see how simple it is

o ight thanks

... here is how easy it is...

pop the hood look in the corner loosen bolts on hinge... have two friends to help hold... then fully remove bolts ... take hood off slowly ... have said two friends put new hood in the place of old one... reinstall the bolts but don't tighten till all bolts are in... slowly lower it to make sure it lines up ... make any adjustments needed

... and if you have a jack stand or two... a friend an impact wrench and some patience

house doors are really easy

HMUSN · December 12th, 2007, 12:05 AM

be careful when loosening
the bolts.
you don't want to rip them from their fiberglass base

MSO · December 12th, 2007, 12:07 AM

you just need 2 ppl so ur hood doesnt fall when you take it off

otherwise you literally only need a wrench lol

HMUSN · December 12th, 2007, 12:08 AM

^ 2 wrenches.

the hinge bolts are all the same but the ground bolt is smaller.

MSO · December 12th, 2007, 12:10 AM

*pulls out adjustable wrench*

u were saying?

HMUSN · December 12th, 2007, 12:11 AM

good luck getting the bolts off with a wrench without tearing the fiberglass MSO

Onemanzu · December 12th, 2007, 12:12 AM

impact gun for the win ... fuck tearing fiber glass

greyauto02 · December 12th, 2007, 12:13 AM
